Abstract

More to the approach of divide and conquer; another vital aspect of British rule in India was the psychological indoctrination of an elite layer within Indian society who was artfully tutored into becoming model British subjects. This English-educated stratum of Indian society was craftily encouraged in absorbing values and notions about themselves and their land of birth and furthering British goals of prowling India's physical wealth and exploiting its labour.

Keywords

Downward Filtration and Elite-Educated Class.

Abstract

The longevity of the colonial rule over India affected the vitals of the Indian economic infrastructure. The long period of British rule over India provided enough time to the British to establish strong and stable institutions for the governance of India. During the British rule India provided an equipped captive market for British goods made from Indian raw materials. The resultant enrichment and industrial development was to take place in Britain and not in India. Thus at the dawn of independence, India inherited an economy that had the worst features of industrialization and poverty of immense intensity.

Keywords
